Poets Corner.
HOW TO MARRY. When yon get married, don’t marry a pet, A jilt or a vixen, or yet a coquette; Hat marry a maid—that is, if you can— More fit for the wife of a,sensible man. X*ok ont for a girl that is Wealthy and young, ( lfithmore in her eye than you bear from her tongue ; 'And tho’ the be freckled or burnt to a tan, ,Ifet she is the girl for a sensible man. With riehea will wretchedness often in lifo Go linked, when yonr riches, are got with a wife ; Bet marry, and make all the riches you pan, Itike a bold, independent and sensible, man. Book out for a girl who is gentle and kind, And modest and silent, and tefl her your mind ; If she's wise as bewitching she'll weclome the plan, be the of a sensibia man. Then cherish her excellence wisely and kind, .Aad be to small foibles indulgently blind, Bor so you make happy, if any thing ean. The wife,of a sober aud sensible man. Phazma.
